JDK1.8的List排序方法源码分析
其实集合的排序包括comparator比较器最终都是调用Arrays.sort（）方法
该方法采用的算法分多种情况
java.util.Arrays.sort(T[] arr)使用的是归并排序
java.util.Arrays.sort(int[] arr) 包括short、long、char等使用的是快速排序
下面看源码
Arrays 类
public static void sort(int[] a) {
DualPivotQuicksort.sort(a, 0, a.length - 1, null, 0, 0);
}
/**
* Sorts the specified range of the array using the given
* workspace array slice if possible for merging
*/
static void sort(int[] a, int left, int right,
int[] work, int workBase, int workLen) {
// Use Quicksort on small arrays
if (right - left < QUICKSORT_THRESHOLD) {
sort(a, left, right, true);
return;
}
这个QUICKSORT_THRESHOLD 的值是286
这个sort()方法里面用到了传统的插入算法
/*
* Index run[i] is the start of i-th run
* (ascending or descending sequence).
*/
int[] run = new int[MAX_RUN_COUNT + 1];
int count = 0; run[0] = left;
// Check if the array is nearly sorted
for (int k = left; k < right; run[count] = k) {
if (a[k] < a[k + 1]) { // ascending
while (++k <= right && a[k - 1] <= a[k]);
} else if (a[k] > a[k + 1]) { // descending
while (++k <= right && a[k - 1] >= a[k]);
for (int lo = run[count] - 1, hi = k; ++lo < --hi; ) {
int t = a[lo]; a[lo] = a[hi]; a[hi] = t;
}
} else { // equal
for (int m = MAX_RUN_LENGTH; ++k <= right && a[k - 1] == a[k]; ) {
if (--m == 0) {
sort(a, left, right, true);
return;
}
}
}
/*
* The array is not highly structured,
* use Quicksort instead of merge sort.
*/
if (++count == MAX_RUN_COUNT) {
sort(a, left, right, true);
return;
}
}
// Check special cases
// Implementation note: variable "right" is increased by 1.
if (run[count] == right++) { // The last run contains one element
run[++count] = right;
} else if (count == 1) { // The array is already sorted
return;
}
// Determine alternation base for merge
byte odd = 0;
for (int n = 1; (n <<= 1) < count; odd ^= 1);
// Use or create temporary array b for merging
int[] b; // temp array; alternates with a
int ao, bo; // array offsets from 'left'
int blen = right - left; // space needed for b
if (work == null || workLen < blen || workBase + blen > work.length) {
work = new int[blen];
workBase = 0;
}
if (odd == 0) {
System.arraycopy(a, left, work, workBase, blen);
b = a;
bo = 0;
a = work;
ao = workBase - left;
} else {
b = work;
ao = 0;
bo = workBase - left;
}
// Merging
for (int last; count > 1; count = last) {
for (int k = (last = 0) + 2; k <= count; k += 2) {
int hi = run[k], mi = run[k - 1];
for (int i = run[k - 2], p = i, q = mi; i < hi; ++i) {
if (q >= hi || p < mi && a[p + ao] <= a[q + ao]) {
b[i + bo] = a[p++ + ao];
} else {
b[i + bo] = a[q++ + ao];
}
}
run[++last] = hi;
}
if ((count & 1) != 0) {
for (int i = right, lo = run[count - 1]; --i >= lo;
b[i + bo] = a[i + ao]
);
run[++last] = right;
}
int[] t = a; a = b; b = t;
int o = ao; ao = bo; bo = o;
}
}
这里用到了快速排序
public static
if (c == null) {
sort(a);
} else {
if (LegacyMergeSort.userRequested)
legacyMergeSort(a, c);
else
TimSort.sort(a, 0, a.length, c, null, 0, 0);
}
}
LegacyMergeSort.userRequested 条件如果为true，则用老的排序方法，默认是false，即使用timsort
看有没有自定义比较器，如果有自定义比较器就用带比较器的timsort排序，如果没有就用不带比较器的timsort排序，其实比较的逻辑没什么不同，timsort排序其实是归并排序和插入排序的优化版，下面看timsort方法
/**
* Sorts the given range, using the given workspace array slice
* for temp storage when possible. This method is designed to be
* invoked from public methods (in class Arrays) after performing
* any necessary array bounds checks and expanding parameters into
* the required forms.
*/
static
T[] work, int workBase, int workLen) {
assert c != null && a != null && lo >= 0 && lo <= hi && hi <= a.length;
int nRemaining = hi - lo;
if (nRemaining < 2)
return; // Arrays of size 0 and 1 are always sorted
// If array is small, do a "mini-TimSort" with no merges
if (nRemaining < MIN_MERGE) {
int initRunLen = countRunAndMakeAscending(a, lo, hi, c);
binarySort(a, lo, hi, lo + initRunLen, c);
return;
}
这个MIN_MERGE的值是32，如果数组长度小于这个值就走binarySort方法，其采用的算法是插入排序
/**
* Sorts the specified portion of the specified array using a binary
* insertion sort. This is the best method for sorting small numbers
* of elements. It requires O(n log n) compares, but O(n^2) data
* movement (worst case).
*
* If the initial part of the specified range is already sorted,
* this method can take advantage of it: the method assumes that the
* elements from index {@code lo}, inclusive, to {@code start},
* exclusive are already sorted.
*/
@SuppressWarnings("fallthrough")
private static
Comparator c) {
assert lo <= start && start <= hi;
if (start == lo)
start++;
for ( ; start < hi; start++) {
T pivot = a[start];
// Set left (and right) to the index where a[start] (pivot) belongs
int left = lo;
int right = start;
assert left <= right;
/*
* Invariants:
* pivot >= all in [lo, left).
* pivot < all in [right, start).
*/
while (left < right) {
int mid = (left + right) >>> 1;
if (c.compare(pivot, a[mid]) < 0)
right = mid;
else
left = mid + 1;
}
assert left == right;
/*
* The invariants still hold: pivot >= all in [lo, left) and
* pivot < all in [left, start), so pivot belongs at left. Note
* that if there are elements equal to pivot, left points to the
* first slot after them -- that's why this sort is stable.
* Slide elements over to make room for pivot.
*/
int n = start - left; // The number of elements to move
// Switch is just an optimization for arraycopy in default case
switch (n) {
case 2: a[left + 2] = a[left + 1];
case 1: a[left + 1] = a[left];
break;
default: System.arraycopy(a, left, a, left + 1, n);
}
a[left] = pivot;
}
}
接上面
/**
* March over the array once, left to right, finding natural runs,
* extending short natural runs to minRun elements, and merging runs
* to maintain stack invariant.
*/
TimSort
int minRun = minRunLength(nRemaining);
将数组划分为分区，每个分区做成严格升序，这个分区的长度如果小于64，也会采用插排序，然后进行合并
do {
// Identify next run
int runLen = countRunAndMakeAscending(a, lo, hi, c);
// If run is short, extend to min(minRun, nRemaining)
if (runLen < minRun) {
int force = nRemaining <= minRun ? nRemaining : minRun;
binarySort(a, lo, lo + force, lo + runLen, c);
runLen = force;
}
// Push run onto pending-run stack, and maybe merge
ts.pushRun(lo, runLen);
ts.mergeCollapse(); //将分区压栈
// Advance to find next run
lo += runLen;
nRemaining -= runLen;
} while (nRemaining != 0);
// Merge all remaining runs to complete sort
assert lo == hi;
ts.mergeForceCollapse();
assert ts.stackSize == 1;
}
合并完所有分区，则整个数组排序完毕
